This was quite a job to put together but once done it looked great.  The directions say you need two people but I did it myself.  Certainly would have been much easier with another person but it’s doable.  The directions could have been better but again, I was able to decipher.  The one downside is that shelf is one long slab but it doesn’t have support in the middle so you can’t put a lot of weight on it as it will start to bow.  Otherwise it’s a great piece and looks really good too.
